Lombard Plaza Motel, hotel in San Francisco

This motel is located in San Francisco's Marina District, minutes from Fisherman's Wharf and other attractions. The motel offers free on-site parking.

A real non chain motel, well managed with all the amenities possible. Close to the tourist spots and with a parking just large enough to park our campervan. Sweet staff, clean and way cheaper than an RV park North of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    There are two essential things when staying in SanFran - free parking spot and good location. La Casa Inn has both and it's also really good value for money! You can tell that the hotel is renovated and new. We felt safe here and it was also walking distance from famous SF spots - and if you do not want to walk, you can make it yourself easier with scooters (of course, drive responsibly on the road) which were always nearby.

    The motel is a standard motor lodge type of motel. It's not fancy, but it is right in the Marina and includes free parking, which was a top priority for us as we were traveling by car. Our king room was comfortable and had a microwave and refrigerator. It wasn't luxurious, but it was clean and seems to have been refurbished within the past few years. We loved being walking distance to Chestnut Street and Union Street with all the shops and restaurants.
